Summary of the contracting process

West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust is seeking preventive maintenance services for its air handling units. The requirement is for planned preventative maintenance (PPM), intended to keep the units in service through scheduled maintenance. The buyer is based in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. The procurement is categorised as a service, specifically preventive maintenance (CPV 50324200).

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The enquiry deadline was 18 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and the bid deadline was 25 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The planned contract period runs from 4 January 2027 to 3 January 2028, with one possible 12-month renewal, extending the maximum period to 3 January 2029. The estimated value is £160,000 excluding VAT (£190,000 including VAT). There is one lot. Evaluation gives 50% to technical quality, 10% to social value and 40% to cost; the award decision was scheduled for 14 December 2026.

This opportunity suits facilities-management and mechanical-services contractors with experience maintaining air handling units and the capacity to deliver planned preventative maintenance for a healthcare trust. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate a strong technical approach, as technical quality accounts for half of the evaluation, alongside a credible social value offer. Cost is also a substantial part of the assessment. The single-lot arrangement calls for a supplier able to cover the requirement as a whole, rather than bid for a separate component. The work has a defined initial service period and may be extended once, so it may suit firms able to support continuity of maintenance across successive years.
